DC going vegan?

My DC are 12 & 14. They've decided that they want to go vegan because it's "healthier". They've been vegetarian for almost 5 years because they just refuse to eat any meat or fish we serve to them (except the gravy and roast potatoes that they think are vegan Wink). DH and I will absolutely not be going vegan, whether we let the DC do it or not. I've heard all the stories about vegan kids being malnourished etc, but AIBU to let them? DH thinks it's dangerous and inconvenient, but they'll be cooking for themselves, and surely they can just stop if they want/need to? Any advice would be appreciated!

You might not realise it now but you are laying the foundations for the future.

If your plan is to drive your children to confide in others and not talk to you about anything then crack on.

If they can’t trust their mother then they will not be in your life very much longer.

Maybe that is your plan so you have 2 less to cook for.

I am interested to know why you don’t have any vegetables in the house they can cook with? Or even a jar of pasta sauce or even a tin of tomatoes in the cupboard.

The amount of meat you eat must eat isbt good for you long term.
